This still did not work. What did work? Hitting the Windows key when they computer booted up and asked if you wanted to cancel check disk press any key.
It was the only one that worked. And I would point out that I always get chkdsk warnings and have no trouble bypassing them but this time it was a hassle. I used no when the chkdsk is used and said it can not do it where c: is in use if you want it run next start up I said no. Thank you so much SOP……. It worked!!!!!!! Thanks again! Is there no way to disable check disk from boot on all drives without having to enter individual drive letters?
Without a valid file table, no recovery program I could find would recover the files. Not sure if some rogue software corrupted the registry. But, on second thought I note what you said. It would be better not to run ChkDsk in view of the damage that it can do. So I will leave the matter as it is and continue to allow [autochk program not found — skipping autocheck]. I was recently helping a friend who had a problem with chkdsk running on every boot-up, despite the fact that the computer had been shut down properly and having let the scan run multiple times each time the computer was turned back on.
Thanks You So Much. And the script I downloaded from you, it works too. Thank you! This worked like a charm, Thank You! Anyway, it is all fixed now! It worked exactly as you said. I had some bad sector in my main C: drive and chkdsk was running every restart and hanged with blue screen in its stage 3.
It was disturbing to skip this every restart. It was OK for me to accept some bad sector instead, which was not bothering my daily laptop use. Your solution helped. Thank you again. Thanks for the solution. Raymond- I finally got chkdsk disabled…kinda rough when it keeps turning off!! YES, your assistance is greatly appreciated, today and for the next times!
This solutions fixed my problem. Who needs Checkdsk anyways! Pure genius. Fast and easy. Thank you SO much for helping me fix this long-standing, annoying problem, both for me and for a friend with the same issue. Thanks for this article, straight to the point no mess or confusion like most other web pages.
Solved my problem straight away. This is fantastic. I mean it is simple, straight to the point, and does what it says and solves the problem Many thanks for the article. This is very helpful, especially if we need to restart server remotely and you have disk that need check, it will take all the day and will not finish. Thanks again for this article. It worked! Now I can boot my computer without going through this irritating windows check disk.
It does not correct the error no matter how much i allowed it to pass the check disk test. Brilliant idea on registry tweak! Hey, I gotta tell you. This is the only one that really worked for me. My CEO is very pleased — I got his old win working like a charm. Besides this annoying boot anomaly there were also some dll ambiguities…. Thanks for the help on chkdsk options. Very well done and easy for the less computer savvy individuals to understand. Tried this on my old PC with windows because this screen kept coming up and it was annoying me.
Thanks, this worked good even on my fat32 drive. When it finally booted into Windows the disk was practically unreadable and subsequent attempts at recovering the disk content using recovery tools have proven fruitless.
The usual crap you have to put up with when using Windows is tolerable but anything that actively destroys your data should be disabled. Thanks again, Charlie. OMFG this is what I have been looking for!
For some random reason it started doing it and never has before and its annoying so i used this and it fixed it! If so, have you tried either of these methods? Did they work?

All it does is check for errors. It will not fix any errors it finds unless told to do so.
This is done by adding switches when typing chkdsk in the command prompt. Below is a list of most of the switches used with the check disk command. You can use one or a combination of switches with the check disk command.
D: If you want check disk to scan a drive other than the C: drive, add the drive letter after chkdsk to tell it to scan that drive.
If the drive is called X: on your computer it would look like chkdsk X:. It tells chkdsk to fix any errors it finds. If chkdsk asks you if you want to check the drive next time Windows Vista boots or dismount the drive choose to check the drive next time Windows Vista boots.
Never choose to dismount the drive. That option should only be used by a professional. The check disk command shown above will fix any errors it finds and also attempt to recover bad sectors of the D: drive if any are found.
